Ideas with Oats

Hi guys

So I'm going to give the diet and cardio thing a try. Be real committed. New territory for me as I have always either maintained or bulked. Looking for a leaner look now and then go from there. Diet etc will start on Tuesday.

My diet requires oats and raisins as pre workout. I will be at work by the time I have my pre workout so I'm looking for any ideas on how you guys usually prepare this? Previously I have just added hot water to the oats with cinnamon and covered till soft. Any other ideas?

I have added it to a shake before, just like that, and downed it. Works.

blender, oats, egg whites, scoop of whey and a quick fry. This can be for the weekend... unless you cook it before work.

Cold oats taste ick.

Rather soak it at work. Takes a few minutes.

yeah the warm water soak with cinnamon still sounds best.

ive tried having it in a shake but cant swallow it for the life of me lol

Look at the over night fridge oats. I have 1 if those servings a day and loving it.

Over night fridge oats? Is it oats I soak and leave in fridge over night or is it a specific product lol?
